Product Description

Product Description
The bags in this book draw inspiration from the 20s-50s - with 20 projects are suitable for all levels and there are four matching purse designs that can be adapted to any bag. Patterns and seam allowances are also included. Patterns for all the bags are included and all have seam allowances added already so that the book is not just inspirational, it's practical too. The bags are made from easily acquired cost-effective materials using straightforward techniques and come in a range of beautiful shapes that give them a really stunning and unique look. Designs range in skill level, so if you are new to the craft you can start simply, then move on to gradually more challenging designs as your ability increases and your creativity blossoms.

5.0 out of 5 stars An absolute bargain, 29 Nov 2005
By F. Pook (Lancashire, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I love this book. I have only made one of the bags so far, but I have had 2 people already ask if I will make them one, they look so good. The instructions are easy to follow and with patterns to make 20 different bags even if you only make a couple then you have covered the cost of a couple of dressmaking style patterns. It is easy to adapt the bags to your own style and embellishments.

5.0 out of 5 stars Just Wonderful!, 21 Mar 2006
By Patricia (Hertfordshire UK) - See all my reviews
I have just given this book to a needleworking friend. It was a joy to hear her comments as she looked through each page. She found the clarity of instructions and the patterns quite superb.There were gasps of delight from her as each page revealed yet another lovely vintage bag all simple in design but all having an elegance appropriate to the period.

I am so thrilled with the book I have immediately ordered it for my needleworking daughter!
